Industrial Rated Craftsman Sabre Saw

by George Colby
(West Hartford, CT)

This is a 1/3 hp (2.7 amp) sabre saw that I inherited from my grandfather. As best as I can tell, it is from the late '50s to mid '60s. It was made in the USA and still works great.

Model number is 315.279850 and the tag bears the names "Sears, Roebuck and Co." and "Simpsons-Sears LTD."
